The Tampa Bay Lightning wrapped up their 2023 Southeast Rookie Showcase with a 3-2 loss to the Florida Panthers. Felix Robert and Maxim Groshev scored the the goals for the Bolts while Hugo Alnefelt stopped 18 of 20 shots in his second start of the tournament.
We took a look at all 35 players in the system that are aged 25 or younger (as of October 1, 2023) and ranked them. It’s the Top 25 Under 25. We kick off the third week of prospects with someone who has been in this spot before – Maxim Groshev.
Third year in a row at 15th position Maxim Groshev has been in the Tampa Bay Lightning organization since the 2020 NHL Entry Draft, where he was selected as the 85th overall pick.
This will be a big year for the big forward with some skills Maxim Groshev is an interesting study in draft pick expectations. He was drafted in the third round of the 2020 NHL Draft and is a large, decent skating forward.
